Stimulating and ambitious jazz! Saxophonist Rémi Dumoulin has written a repertoire of reinterpretations of traditional standards close to his heart. While the harmonic framework of the compositions brings to mind a musical comedy, the saxophone's melodic line offers a completely different proposition for the soloists. On familiar ground and stimulated by these re-workings, the musicians can throw themselves into improvisation without a safety net. The dividing line traces the path of a detour rather than a highway. Both traditional and modern, the music blends improvised melodic patterns with beautiful coherence.
